Destination XL

Category-Killing Anchor for Underserved Men's Fashion Destination XL (DXL) is the premier specialty retailer for the Big + Tall men’s market, serving a highly loyal demographic (waist sizes 38-64; tops XL-8XL) often underserved by standard department stores. Recently merged with FullBeauty Brands to create a category-defining inclusive apparel giant with $1.2B in combined sales, DXL acts as a powerful destination anchor that drives consistent, purpose-driven foot traffic. With a footprint of nearly 300 stores and a strategic focus on National Expansion into 100+ identified "white space" markets, DXL is an ideal partner for landlords seeking a stable, high-credit tenant. Their "store-as-a-hub" model requires 4,000–10,000 SF of high-visibility retail space, preferably in Power Centers and Lifestyle Centers, where they complement co-tenants like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Men’s Wearhouse, and casual dining chains. Tenant Representation and leasing professionals should note their agile site selection strategy, focused on filling voids in top-tier suburban markets.
